To the life and work of Dugald Christie who died last December, his college at Mukden is the permanent memorial In the annual report of the College for 1936 eloquent tribute is paid to the remarkable services which he rendered to humanity and to the Christian Church in Manchuria and it is an nounced that a Memorial Fund has been opened in Edinburgh to cover the payment of the salaries of four new European doctors to be sent qut. to Mukden to remedy recent losses in personnel The appeal is to be kept open for eighteen months from April last and the Fund will be administered by the Board of Management at Mukden. The money required is that which will give an additional annual income of £1,600 for the four doctors' salaries and also provide for ten years' endowment. of a Chair at the College. The report records several instances of appreciation of the services which during his forty years in Manchuria Dr, Christie rendered te the people among whom he lived. An exceptionally striking tribute came from a Japanese scholar of Mukden who, regretting his lack of opportunity to thank Dr. Christie in his lifetime. bore testimony to the respect which he felt for the great missionary, whose work he described as "an uphill fight im order 10 build a paradise on the Earth."
